ALMOST A BRUTAL MURDER ,
A Young and Pretty White Woman Stabbed
by Her Colored Lover.
THE BLACK FIEND CAPTURED
A I'ostolIIco Fight Conclusion of the
Tnlo of n Fountain An Ice
* Gorge on the 1'lnttc
Other I./ocnl.
Frightfully Wounded.
A brutal and bloody stubbing affray oc
curred at 110 South Tenth street about
7:30 : lost evening which nearly resulted
in a murder , Alyrtlu Grunt , n young
v/Mlo woman , receiving u frightful
wound hi the hack at the hands of her
colored paramour , Iko ( Mover. Immo-
< li.itoly upon eoiiiiiilUini : the cowardly
tlccd the would-be murderer rushed from
the place , while his victim , with
Wood streaming from the ghastlv out ,
staggered down btairs and Tnlo O'Oon- '
noil's saloon adjoining and gsuo tlio
alarm.
All was intense c\eitoment. and a large
crowd gathered , while the injured woman
was taken back to the room whore the
stabbing oceuirrd and placed in bed.
A doctor was immediately sunt for , but
it wns some time before one could bo
found. Jn the mcantimo the woman was
undressed , mid it was found that
the wound was fully two inches
in length and bleeding badly.
Stopsvoro tiiKon to staunch
the How of blood and make the \\onian
ns comfortable as possible , butall present
considered that who had received her
death blow.
When Dr. Swctnmn arrived lie mndu
nn examination of the wound anil de
clared that it was not necessarily fatal ,
but might prove to bo. The weapon had
entered tlio body between the fifth ami
oixth ribs , n little to tlio left of tlio spinal
column , and penetrated almost to tlio
lungs Tlio pltira , or sack surrounding
tlio lungs , protruded from the wound
and expanded and contracted
witli the woman's breathing. Af
ter tlio cut had been thoroughly
cleansed , the llcsh was drawn together
and a number of stitches taken , and tlio
necessary precautions wore taken to pre
vent n return of the hemorrhage. At a
lute hour last night tlio woman was still
in a favorable condition , with good pros
pects for recovery.
From the time of the stabbing the vic
tim utterly refused to Mate who her as
sailant was and the cause of tlio trouble.
From otheni it was learned that Glover
had committed the crime. Tim Grant
woman , it seems , had been drinking
heavily during tlio day , and was very
much intoxicated on the street. A
man who knew her assisted her to her
room on Tenth street and then left. Her
black lover , Glover , was informed of the
fact and became very jealous. He visited
the room and after a few angrv words
knocked the woman down. While hold
ing her on iho lloor ho pulled the knife
and deliberately stabbed her in the back ,
undoubtedly intending to kill her. After
accomplishing his purpose , as he sup
posed , he flea.
The police we're immediately informed
of the stabbing , and a large number of
men were detailed to scareTi for Glover.
Ho is in the employ of Mr. S. U.Johnson ,
president of Uio water works company ,
Is a coachman , and Captain Cormiek
Ind Oflleor Horrigan went to that gentle
man's residence on Dodge street , whcro
-hoy ( captured Glover late in the evening.
/lie was taken to police headquarters tind
' locked tip. Glover claims that the girl
had the knife , and in attempting to wrest
it from her she received the cut in tlio
back accidentally.
Myrtle Grant , the woman who was
stabbed , Is about 25 years old and of line
face and figure. She has been a pros
titute in Omaha for nearly a year , and
has gradually fallen lower and lower in
her life ot shame. Her parents reside in
Toronto , Ont. , where her father is a repu
table business man. Myrtle received a line
education and was at one time a school
teacher. Later she entered Carrie Wat
son's house of ill-fnmo in Chicago , and
finally came to Omaha. She at first associated
sociatod with the better class among the
demi-iuondo , but soon began to drink
badly and finally landed in a colored
dive. Slio has been frequently arrested
IS for drunkenness , but when sober has
always exhibited signs of her early edu
cation.
TWO I'OSTOFFIOES.
An Interesting Situation in Tnlmadgc ,
Ncl > . A Stubborn 1'ostmnntcr.
Postal Inspector Spnnglcr returned
last night from Talmadgo , Neb. , whither
ho wont a day or so ago to settle n dilli-
culty which had arisen between a new
postoflico appointee and the retiring in
cumbent.
It seems that for some limo past there
lias been hard feelings between the old
postmaster , Stcclo , and a citizen named
Hoard. Hoard , who was a democrat , had
been for some time trying to secure the
postmaRtorship , while Steele , who was a
prohibitionist , had persistently fought to
retain the ollico. Among other charges
preferred against liourd by Steele
mid his friends was that ho was
a hard drinuor so much addicted to
liquor , in fact , that ho was unlit to dis
charge tlio duties which would devolve
upon him as postmaster. Finally it
came to pishowever , that Hoard secured -
cured his nun mission from tlio post
master general , llu triumphantly went
to his opponent , and shoving the papers
in liis face , ordered him to "retreat , "
Steele refused to back down until Hoard
would agree to buy a lot of postolllco
boxes in which ho ( Strolo ) had invested
considerable money , lie refused abso-
utely to give up the stampg or other
government property to Hoard until ho
was reimbursed for the private uiit-
lay which ho had made while
postmaster. The now postmaster con
cluded to pay no attention to tlio de
mands of Steele , but wont ahead , bought
a sot of boxes ami btartcd postolliou No.
3. At this juncture Inspector Spangler
Uovo upon tint scone and settled the nu'air
by peromtorily ordering Steele to give
up all right and title (6 ( the ollico of post
master , besides instructing him to at once
transfer the government property to his
successor , Hoard.
"I shall never forgot the lookonStcolo's
face when I went in to BOO him , " bald
Inspector Spanylor in speaking of tlio
matter to a reporter last night. "Ho
turned as pale as a corpse anil appeared
thoroughly frightened. Yes , ho con
sented readily enough to obey orders , and
now that there is but one postmaster in
the field , everything is sercno again. "
THE Ij.\ST IJMC.
Mrs. Fountain to Part with Her Fine
Furniture.
Ip a day or two thuro will occur In tins
city an auction sale which will serve to
call to mind a personage who , during her
residence in Omaha , gained an unenvia
ble notoriety , Those who have noticed
on the streets a ilaring rod bill announc
ing an "auction s\lu : of line furniture/ '
have not thought that when the snlo was
completed the lust link \\liieli binds Mrs.
J , W. Fountain to Omahawillbo sovcied ,
but such is the case , and when the affair
js over , tlio name and fame of that per-
conngc , as fur as Omaha Is concerned ,
will piob.ibly sink into oblivion. Mrs ,
fountain is now in Washington with her
liusbuml , and it is possible that she may
bo heard from at a distance , but she will
probably not set her foot on Omaha soil
in the near future. Her fine furniture
will now pass Into the hands of strangers ,
and never will a dream of its former as
sociations disturb the sleep ot the new
owners. _
AX ICT ,
The IMatto Itlvor Over Its IJnnks nt
Valley.
The Omaha & Republican Valley train
which left this city at 2:10 : yesterday after
noon returned last night shortly after 11
o'clock , having been unable to proceed
farther than Valley on account of the
forming of an ice gorge in the Platte
river. The gorge is situated above the
railroid bridge anil has caused a terrible
overflow on this .side of the river , result
ing in transforming the couutiy between
Valley and the river into a vast lake.
When tlici train started on its return trip
hist night twenty feet of the road-bed
had been already washed away , anil the
water was rapidly working havoc with
the adjoining tracks. A great amount of
damage to both the railroad anil the sur
round lug country is anticipated unless
the gorge breaks up soon and allows the
river to rotmn to its natural bod.

Mr. Clem Hackney , superintendent of

stylish buggy. The entire rig was pre
sented to Air. Hackney last Saturday bv

ment of the Santa Fo road tit Topeka ,
where Mr. Hackney was located previous
to accepting his present position. Tlio

without fail in Topeka on Saturday. Ho
iccordingly slarted on Friday , and upon

as pretty a matched team as there is in
Omaha. _
Police Points.
The only case of interest in the police
court ycslceday was that of Robert
Colgay who was arraigned on a charge of
being n suspicious character. No evi
dence was brought forward to substan
tiate this charge , until a man who was
present stepped forwards and testified
to facts which show that Col-
gay had taken suspicious familiarity
the night before with money and valuables
of an Iowa granger , Kdl'itxgerald , who
is visiting hero. It was shown that while
in Colgay's company Fit/gerald
hud lost quite a sum of money
and a railroad ticket. It was
pretty clearly proven that Colgay was re.
sponsiblo for the loss of the cash
and ticket , though Fit/gcrald himself
was too drunk to remember much about
the matter. Colgay was committed to
iti'il for sixty days , the judge advising
aim to steer clear of new made friends in
tlio future. The lust seen of him
ho was in tlio Union Pacific ollicos trying
to secure a new ticket.
Mrs. Gus Scii.ltz , the notorious' , was
again fined $5 and costs for drunkenness.
Peter Ringwolt's case was disposed of in
a similar manner. John Moron , John

intoxication , were released.

Her Reducer Arrosted.
Mention was made in the HF.E a few
days ago of a young girl from Fremont
who appeared before Justice Anderson to
secure the arrest of a Grand Island hotel
olork for seduction. The girl failed to
secure the man's arrest hare , nut returned
to Fremont and swore out tha necessary
papers. In speaking of the matter the
Fiemont Tribune says that "Kd Fe.ither
is the 'bird' whom the girl wanted. Ac
cordingly ofllcer.s went to Grand Island
and piocurcd him He was taken before
'Squire Usher , who bound him over in
the sum of $500 to appear at the next
term of district court. Falling to give
bonds , ho. was committi'd to jail. If Kd
is tiiu guilty until ho ought to bo mndo
to face thi ) miisiu. A man who thus
blights a young girl'lifn and runs away
is too despicably a character to bo let run
nt largo. " *

sioners appointed to condemn property

Narrow Kscnpo From Death.
Jlr. J. M. Wilson , owner of the Wilson
boiler works , Is reported to bo en
tirely out of danger from the injuries re
ceived by being struck by a runaway
horse , in spilo of the fact that a wrong
dose of mcdiclno nearly proved fatal.
After his injuries by the horse a physician
was called , who prescribed medicine for
both Internal and external use , The latter
was a strong liniment , but during the
uight the bottles became transposed , and
Mr. Wilson was given n largo dose of the
liniment internally. The mistake wns at
once discovered and physicians were sent
for. The unfortunate man was in terri
ble agony , both from his injuries and the
ell'ect of the liniment on his throat and
stomach , and it was only by tlio utmost
cam that his life was saved. Antidotes
and a stomach pump worn freely used
and resulted in relieving his distress. He
Is now rapidly recovering.

Information.
City Engineer \Vhitnoy \ , of Kansas City ,
arrived in Omaha yesterday to gain some
points of information about the system
ot public works in this city in general ,
and our system of paving in particular.
His attention was especially directed

which Kansas City will probably try this
ear. Ho was piloted about the city by
Mr. C. D. Woohvorth , and could not but
express his surprise and admiration at
the system of public works which has
done so much for Omaha in the past four
o'r live years
